Fabric Governance - Domains, Workspaces & Lineage

🎯 The Problem: Your Fabric POC was a success. Now 15 teams want in. Suddenly you have 47 workspaces, no naming convention, random data everywhere, and the CFO asking why the capacity bill tripled.

💡 This Evening: We’ll show you governance patterns that ENABLE teams (not block them). Domains, Workspaces, Capacities, Lineage - the structure that scales.

⏱️ Save yourself: The governance mess that makes everyone hate the data platform. Get it right from the start.
